‘The best thing’… Bukayo Saka has been so impressed with £45m Arsenal player

Bukayo Saka has now been singing the praises of Arsenal teammate Gabriel Jesus when asked to summarise his best characteristic.

Saka was speaking to the Premier League and was asked to name the best thing about Jesus’ game at Arsenal.

The winger praised Jesus’ ability to receive the ball in all circumstances, something he clearly enjoys playing alongside.

Saka said: “The best thing about Gabriel Jesus is he can receive the ball from anywhere and with any part of his body – with his neck, his chest or his toes, wherever.”

And it’s evident that Saka will clearly be very happy to have a fit and firing Jesus back at Arsenal after the international break.

However, Mikel Arteta may not be in a rush to start Jesus given the form of Leandro Trossard.

The Belgian has performed admirably in a false nine position and has given a timely reminder of the quality he possesses.

And it would now seem very harsh if Trossard was dropped for the coming trip to Brentford.

As well as scoring in consecutive games, Trossard has also been inspiring some excellent performances from the wingers around him.

Gabriel Martinelli in particular seems to be benefiting from the positioning of the Belgian.

Gary Neville has recently been expressing his concern over the striking options that Mikel Arteta has to choose from at the club right now.

And although a lot of football fans will probably agree, Arsenal do now seem in a good position.

£45m Jesus can now be eased back to fitness – something that seems very important to avoid further knee issues, and Trossard can fill the void in the interim.

Neil Warnock is now convinced that Arsenal are about to launch a £70m bid for a striker in January, but that may not be the case.

Bukayo Saka is clearly impressed with Arsenal’s main striker at the club, Jesus, and Arteta does have a variety of profiles to choose from.

A signing like Ivan Toney would surely be very welcome in January, but Arsenal do have strong options otherwise.
